1. Information We Collect and How We May Use It

A. Personally Identifiable Information – At various locations on the Sites, such as areas where you may request information (including technical or customer support) and/or sign up for newsletters updates, events and promotions, you may provide us personally identifiable information such as name, mailing address, telephone number or email address. If you choose to give us personally identifiable information through the Sites, we will collect and retain that personally identifiable information. We do not use your personally identifiable information or share it with others except as described in this Policy. We will provide specific notice at the time of collection if we are going to use personally identifiable information in ways not set forth in this Privacy Policy.

- contact you via email, telephone, or standard mail in the future to tell you about educational and tutoring services, events and promotions (including by sending you e-newsletters, marketing communications and announcements from Sylvan and its education partners).

You may opt out of these communications at any time. See Your Choices for instructions. In addition, we, our affiliates, and our franchisees may use your personally identifiable information to:

- respond to you regarding the reason you contacted us and provide customer service; - personalize and enhance your visits to the Sites; - deliver services you request or purchase via the Sites, where available; and - investigate, enforce and apply our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

B. When You Register for a Program - For your convenience and in our discretion from time to time, the Sites may make it possible for you to register your student for educational programs to be delivered at the participating Sylvan Learning Center of your choice. To register via the Sites, you must create an account and provide financial information such as credit card number and type, billing address, and expiration date, in addition to personally identifiable information such as name, billing address, telephone number, email, and the name of the student you are registering. Currently this information is provided to and collected by our third party payment processor. If you register for a program, we collect your student’s gender and grade level in school. Your financial information and your student’s name are used:

to complete your student’s registration in the program(s) you select;

to create a unique account for you and to administer it;

for billing purposes; and

to contact you if we have questions about your payment.

Registration information retained by Sylvan includes payment confirmation notices, including price of the Program, the enrollment associated with the payment, payment authorization number, and last 4 digits of the credit card number (please see our Terms of Use for additional information related to online payments).

C. When You Participate in mySylvan and other personalized Programs– mySylvan and other personalized accounts (“Accounts”) are available only to parties (each called a “Responsible Party” for convenience) who have purchased a Sylvan Learning SylvanSync or other learning program for a student via a Sylvan Learning Center business or who create an Account with Sylvan. In order to access and use some parts of the Sites, you must login via your unique account. See the Terms of Use for information regarding account registration.

To learn more about mySylvan, contact your local Sylvan Learning Center.

By using the Sites, you provide consent for Sylvan, your specific Sylvan Learning Center and its personnel to collect personally identifiable information about each user and student associated with your account in accordance with our Privacy Policy, whether or not the user and/or student is under the age of 13.

In addition to other personally identifiable information we collect, from your account we may also collect information regarding your Sylvan student, such as name, age, grade, school, and teacher’s name. We may use personally identifiable information and non-personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and to:

deliver tutoring services to you or your student;

administer Site features such as challenges and quests;

award and track Badges, if applicable (as defined in the Terms of Use);

manage content delivery; and

personalize your and your student’s experience with the Sites.

D. Non-Personal Information – When you use the Sites, we may also collect non-personal information, which we define as information that cannot be used by itself to identify you personally. Non-personal information includes, but is not limited to, technical information (such as your IP address, the type of browser you are using, and the websites you visit immediately before and immediately after you visit the Sites) and demographic information (your age, gender, income, education, profession, area code, zip code, etc.). Non-personal information also includes, without limitation, other anonymous data involving your use of the Sites, such as the Sites you visit and the terms you enter into the search or select functions of the Sites. We or our service providers may collect this information by automated means, using technologies such as cookies, Web server logs, and Web beacons.

E. Cookies – We use "cookies" to store information and enhance your visits to the Sites. A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. Cookies do not store personally identifiable information about you, unless you knowingly provide it. Cookies can store non-personal information, such as what websites, pages, or advertisements your browser has accessed.

We use cookies to enhance your visits to the Sites. For example, cookies can personalize page displays and keep track of selections you make so that you do not have to re-enter selections while the cookie is active.

You generally can refuse and/or delete cookies. See your Internet browser “Help” file for instructions. Please note that some of our Site functionalities utilize cookies and might not work for you if you refuse or delete cookies.

F. Web Beacons – We also may use "web beacons" (also often called "clear GIFs", "clear pixels", "1×1 GIFs", or "1×1 pixels") which are tiny graphic image files, embedded in a web page in GIF, jpeg or HTML format, that provide a presence on the web page and send back to its home server information from your browser, such as the IP address, the URL of the page on which the web beacon is located, the type of browser that is accessing the site and the ID number of any cookies on your computer previously placed by that server.

We may use web beacons to collect non-personal information about your use of the Sites and the websites of selected sponsors and advertisers, and your use of special promotions or content. This information allows us to statistically monitor how many people are using the Sites and selected sponsors' and advertisers' sites. Our web beacons are not used to track your activity outside of the Sites or those of our sponsors. We do not link non-personal information from web beacons to personally identifiable information without your permission.

We want to make our Sites as engaging and useful as possible. Accordingly, we may use your non-personal information for market research and data analytics.

We reserve the right to use, disclose, license, assign or otherwise transfer information which is not personally identifiable information as we find appropriate.

G. “Do Not Track” Signals – We currently do not process or comply with any web browser’s “do not track” signal or similar mechanism that indicates a request to disable online tracking of individual users who visit the Sites or use our services, unless otherwise stated in a service-specific privacy statement.

H. Children Under 13 – Sylvan does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are under the age of 13, please do not provide your contact information or any other personally identifiable information to Sylvan. If you are the parent or legal guardian of someone under the age of 13 who may have provided Sylvan with information without your knowledge or consent, please contact us to have this information removed.

I. Mobile Device Information - We collect information about the mobile device you use to access or use the Sites, including the hardware model, operating system and version, unique device identifiers, mobile network information and information about your use of our mobile applications. With your consent, we may also collect information about the location of your device and access and collect information from certain native applications on your device (such as your device’s camera, photo album and phonebook applications) to facilitate your use of certain features of the Sites. For more information about how you can control the collection of location information and/or our access to other applications on your device, please see “Your Choices” below.

J. We may also obtain information about you from other sources and combine that with information we collect directly. For example, we may collect information about you when you post content to our pages or feeds on third party social media sites, or if you use credentials (e.g., username and password) from a third party site to create or log into your account.

2. Disclosure of Information We Collect - Except as specifically set forth in this Policy, we do not share your personally identifiable information with any non-affiliated third party without your permission.

A. Corporate Family, Franchisees, and Affiliates – We may share your personally identifiable information with Sylvan Learning Centers, including those owned and operated by our franchisees, with our affiliates, and with our and their employees, and agents, and with certain websites that are controlled by us or by entities under common control with us, so that they and we can offer you products and services that may be of interest to you. We endeavor to restrict access to personally identifiable information to those individuals who need to know that information in order to operate, develop or improve our services. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline if they fail to meet these obligations.

B. When You Register for a Program - If you use the Sites to create an account and/or register your student for a program, in order to verify your identity and process your registration, we may share financial information and personally identifiable information you provide with third-party payment processors and the Sylvan Learning Center you selected to deliver the program. Otherwise, we do not share your financial information with third parties. C. When You and Your Student Participate in mySylvan – If you are enrolled in mySylvan, you will create a mySylvan Online Persona for yourself and one for your registered student. We store and publicly display the information in your and your student’s mySylvan Online Personas in order to provide services that we offer. When you and/or your student use mySylvan, your respective mySylvan Online Persona(s) will be shared with other mySylvan users and will become publically available. All such sharing of information is done at your own risk. Please do not include information in your or your student’s mySylvan Online Personas that you expect to keep private.

D. Service Providers - We sometimes engage unaffiliated businesses to assist us in providing you certain services on the Site. For example, we may use third parties to provide advertising, marketing and promotional assistance, process credit card transactions, provide gamification within mySylvan, provide email services, or facilitate our online services. In those instances, we may share your personally identifiable information with them for the purposes of their delivering services and processing payment for you in connection with your request. These businesses also may collect both personally identifiable information you provide and non-personal information about your visits to the Sites and other websites via cookies and web beacons to help them provide their services to us. The information collected by the cookies and Web beacons (including your IP address) will be disclosed to these service providers, who use the information to evaluate your use of the Sites. These businesses may also aggregate your non-personal information for use in targeted advertising, marketing research, and other similar purposes. If you want to prevent a third party business from collecting and using this information, you may visit the third party advertiser's website directly and opt-out.

This Policy does not apply to the practices of third parties that we do not own or control, including but not limited to any third party websites, services and applications (“Third Party Services”) that you elect to access through the Sites or to individuals that we do not manage or employ. While we attempt to enable access only to those Third Party Services that share our respect for your privacy, we cannot take responsibility for the content or privacy policies of those Third Party Services. Please make sure to review the privacy policies of any Third Party Services you access.

E. Business Transactions Involving Sylvan – Sylvan may buy other entities or business assets, or sell all or part of our business or assets, or combine with other businesses. If so, personally identifiable information as well as and non-personal information that we have collected may be transferred as part of the transaction. We specifically reserve the right to transfer or share a copy of personally identifiable information collected from the Sites to the buyer or transferee of that portion of our business relating to that information. Should such a transaction occur, we will use reasonable efforts to direct the buyer or transferee to use personally identifiable information you have provided to us in a manner that is consistent with this Policy.F. Aggregate Information – We may disclose aggregate information, such as demographic information and our statistical analyses of such demographic information, to third parties, including advertisers or other business partners. This aggregate information is not linked to any personally identifiable information. G. Other Disclosures – We may disclose personally identifiable information when we are required or requested to do so by law or legal process, court order or other government or law enforcement authority or regulatory agency; to enforce or apply our rights, agreements, and policies, including but not limited to this Policy and/or our Terms of Use; and when we believe in good faith that disclosing this information is necessary or advisable, including, for example, to protect the rights, property, or safety of Sylvan, our users, or others.

3. Security - The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure your personally identifiable information. However, there is always some risk in transmitting information electronically. The Personal Information we collect is stored by us or by our third-party designees within databases that we or our third-party designees control. As we deem appropriate, we use security measures consistent with industry standards, such as firewalls and encryption technology, to protect your information. For example, when our third party payment processor asks users to enter sensitive information (such as a credit card number) in connection with making a payment, that information is encrypted. However, we cannot guarantee the security of our or our third-party designees' databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us or our third-party designees over the Internet or that information we share with others as permitted by this Policy will always be held secure by them.

In particular, email sent to or from the Sites may not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what information you send to us via email. If you share your computer or use a computer that is accessed by the general public, remember to sign off and close your browser window when you have finished your session. This will help to ensure that others cannot access your personally identifiable information. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality or security of your personally identifiable information, we will notify you as required by law, if reasonably possible and as reasonably necessary so that you can take appropriate protective steps. We may notify you under such circumstances using the e-mail address(es) we have on record for you or through alternative means. You should also take care with how you handle and disclose your personally identifiable information. Please refer to the Federal Trade Commission’s website at http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/ for information about how to protect yourself against identity theft. Please note that once you leave the Sites, whether independently or via links from the Sites, the privacy policies of the site to which you migrate will apply. This Privacy Policy applies to your interactions with our Sites only.

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SYLVAN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INTERCEPTED INFORMATION SENT VIA THE INTERNET, AND YOU HEREBY RELEASE US FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE USE OF INTERCEPTED INFORMATION IN ANY UNAUTHORIZED MANNER.
